Brazil to Exempt Chinese Citizens from Short‑Term Visa Requirements

Key Point  

  • Brazil will allow Chinese citizens to enter visa‑free for short‑term tourism and business starting 22 February 2026, with stays up to 30 days and extensions permitted.  

Visa-Exempt Policy  

As of  22 February 2026, Brazil will exempt Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports from short‑term visa requirements for select travel purposes. Brazil introduced the measure as a reciprocal policy aligning its entry rules with China’s 2025 visa‑exemption program for Brazilian nationals.

Under the new policy, eligible Chinese travelers may enter Brazil visa‑free for tourism or business, with stays of up to 30 days, and may extend their stay for up to 90 days within a 12‑month period.
